Huis Nagels - Huis Nagels 2

NAGELS HOUSE

Experience the upstairs-downstairs atmosphere in this notary house dating from 1892, full of architectural and historical style elements. Both the façade and the interior of this 19th-century notary house give visitors a unique view of the eclectic interplay of architectural styles and their style elements. The visitor is guided in the spirit of the belle époque with the apotheosis of a surprising visit to a few private rooms, located on the first floor. In addition to the Gothic and Louis XV interiors, especially the 'Salon de Musique' in Egyptian decor style makes this experience unique. A wonderful example of late 19th century Egyptomania. A 90-minute upstairs-downstairs trip to the 19th century fin-de-siècle.
The tour ends in the staff cellars with its octopus-fuel cellar, a rare relic of modern heating in the 1900s.

Every visitor receives a nice surprise.

In June 2015 Huis Nagels was one of the sets for the recording of the TV fiction series 'Chaussée d'Amour' (VTM).

Landbouwmuseum "de Nostalgie"

The aim of the farming "nostalgia" is to go back in time and get acquainted with the hard, everyone back but also beautiful peasant life of the past. Even ordinary life was in the museum portrayed. Who knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff, how they milked cows or tractors which there is reason in the field? Some things that Ivo Smeets has found are recognizable but forget others, even of the 19th century.
